This seemed quite well done, but . . . I have a confession to make . . .

I suck at reading horror stories . . . I always have, and I don't know why, but they just don't have the intended effect on me; for whatever reason, I just can't suspend my disbelief for them. No kidding, if Cthulhu himself stepped into my room in 3-D Technicolor Hi-Resolution, I'd just look at him and say, "Sorry, pal, you can't be here. Great simulation, though." Poe, Robert Chambers, all those classics -- nothin' -- nada, zip, zilch -- I just don't react. The movies? I laugh more than I cringe. I look at the special effects and say, "Cool! How'd they do that?"

Ya wanna know who can scare me? Ray Bradbury. (Dick Cheney is up there on the list, too, but never mind that.)

Anyway, back to the topic at hand . . . reminds me a little of old Twilight Zone. But, hey, the special effects were great . . .
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
